Sausage Gravy Stuffing | Best Thanksgiving Stuffing I've Ever Had | Food Wishes

Hello, this is Chef John from foodwishes.com with sausage gravy stuffing.

That's right. Instead of the usual broth or stock, we are making this stuffing with a turkey sausage gravy. And I'm actually upset I did not think of this a long time ago because it produced the most gorgeous, most delicious, most satisfying stuffing I've ever made. So, I'm beyond excited to be sharing this with you. And to get started, we're going to cut up some bread to like half inch pieces.

And yes, I'm using two different kinds. A regular French bread

loaf and also one small baguette since that's what's going to give me the exact amount I need. And while of course you can buy prepared croutons for stuffing, I think it's always so much better if we make our own. And by the way, when I say halfinch cube, that's like the average size. Okay, we're going to have pieces that are smaller and some that are bigger, but that will make no difference at all.

So, I went ahead and cubed up those two loaves and then transferred

that onto two parchment line baking sheets. And once we have that evenly distributed, we'll go ahead and pop that into a 300°ree oven for about 30 to 45 minutes or until our bread cubes are completely dry and crispy. And of course, your times will vary depending on how dry your bread was. And that's it. We'll simply let that sit and cool on the pans before we transfer it into a big mixing bowl.

And once that's set, we can go ahead and start our sausage

gravy, which we'll begin by melting an entire stick of butter over mediumigh heat. And once that melts, we'll go ahead and transfer in a whole bunch of diced onion along with our salt. And then we'll cook that, stirring for a few minutes until our onions turn translucent and start to take on a little bit of color.
